There is no single “YEIDA rate.” The authority prices land by category (residential, industrial, commercial, institutional) and revises those base rates periodically, then layers scheme-specific premiums and location charges on top. Here is what’s actually been charged in recent schemes, and why your number will differ from your neighbour’s.
The most recent confirmed rate: RPS-10, April 2026
YEIDA’s residential plot scheme RPS-10 opened for applications on 6 April 2026, covering newly developed Sectors 15-C, 18 and 24-A. The base allotment rate was ₹36,260 per square metre, with 973 plots on offer across six sizes:
| Plot size | Plots on offer | Registration amount (10%) |
|---|---|---|
| 162 sq m | 476 | ₹5.87 lakh |
| 183 sq m | 4 | ₹6.63 lakh |
| 184 sq m | 4 | ₹6.67 lakh |
| 200 sq m | 481 | ₹7.25 lakh |
| 223 sq m | 6 | ₹8.08 lakh |
| 290 sq m | 2 | ₹10.51 lakh |
On top of the base rate, a 5% Preferential Location Charge (PLC) applies to plots that are park-facing, along a green belt, at a corner, or fronting a road 18 metres or wider.
What that ₹36,260/sq m actually gets you
- 90-year lease from the date of the lease deed. The RPS-10 brochure describes a leasehold allotment and says nothing about converting it to freehold.
- 10% due at registration, the full premium within 60 days of the allotment letter. The brochure lists no instalment plan; only in extraordinary cases can the CEO extend the deadline, by up to 30 days, with interest at 13.5% a year.
- 17.5% of plots reserved for farmers whose land was acquired for the airport or expressway.
Industrial and commercial: wider, less settled ranges
Industrial and commercial rates move independently of residential and have seen larger swings. Recent industrial scheme reporting for Sectors 29, 32 and 33 (Toy Park, Apparel Park, Handicraft-ODOP and general MSME plots, up to 8,000 sq m) has cited rates in the ₹12,000–15,000 per sq m range; commercial plots in recent schemes have been reported anywhere from ₹45,000 to over ₹80,000 per sq m depending on sector, plot size and whether the applicable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is above or below 2. YEIDA is also reported to have pushed through a broad base-rate revision for FY 2025-26 across categories, commercial and group-housing rates in particular were reported to rise by roughly a third to two-thirds over the prior year.
We are not going to print a single “current industrial rate” or “current commercial rate” here, because the figures we found for these two categories vary by source and by exactly which scheme and sector they describe, unlike the RPS-10 residential rate above, which is a single dated scheme with a brochure behind it. If you’re planning around a specific industrial or commercial category, get the current per-sqm reserve price from that scheme’s actual brochure on the official YEIDA portal, not a summary, ours included.
Why your rate won’t match the last scheme’s
- Category. Residential, industrial, commercial and institutional are priced on entirely separate schedules.
- FAR. Commercial plots with FAR above 2 (more built-up area allowed) carry a materially higher per-sq-m rate than low-FAR plots.
- Location charges. Corner, park-facing or wide-road plots add a percentage premium on top of the base rate.
- Which scheme, which year. Base rates are revised periodically: the 2024 residential base rate was reported around ₹25,900/sq m; RPS-10 in 2026 was ₹36,260/sq m.
Common questions
The most recent confirmed rate is ₹36,260 per sq m, set for the RPS-10 scheme that opened in April 2026 for Sectors 15-C, 18 and 24-A. Rates are set per scheme and change over time, so always confirm the current rate against the live scheme brochure before applying.
No. The base rate applies within a given scheme, but a Preferential Location Charge of around 5% is added for corner, park-facing or wide-road plots, and rates differ scheme to scheme and sector to sector.
Under RPS-10, 10% of the plot premium was due at registration, with the full premium due within 60 days of the allotment letter. The RPS-10 brochure lists no instalment plan; in extraordinary cases the CEO can extend the deadline by up to 30 days, with interest at 13.5% a year.
No, and they vary considerably by category, sector and Floor Area Ratio. Recent schemes have cited industrial rates in the ₹12,000–15,000 per sq m range and commercial rates from roughly ₹45,000 upward, but you should confirm the exact figure against the specific scheme brochure rather than a general figure.
Please verify before you commit. YEIDA revises rates between schemes and this page will not always be the most current source. Always check the live scheme brochure on YEIDA’s official portal or with your legal adviser before making a purchase decision.
